3 Papers Published in Less than 3 Weeks!

This has certainly been a winter of record-breaking cold as well as snowfalls in the Northeast of the US! In the case of Amherst, we had the coldest average temperatures in February since records were first taken back in 1835!

New Englanders tend to be very hardworking and, given the number of academic institutions in our area, we certainly contribute to the education and research missions.

I always say that "good news happens in 3s" and in less than 3 weeks I have had 3 papers published in journals, which I think is a record for me.

In academia, one may have a paper accepted for publication and then the journal will put it online but it may still take some time to have the paper actually appear in a journal volume. In academia we certainly learn patience and I try to instill that in my doctoral students, sometimes with mixed success.
